Love and every blessing to you Skeeter flowers My husband died in June in hospital following a fall downstairs when he was sleepwalking. I miss him terribly but he remains very close to me but in a different way, sort of with me all the time now never apart as we were sometimes in life.

What a dreadful thing Grandmama It must have been a terrible shock for you.

My husband died four years ago Skeeter My son moved in with me but if he is out at work there are still times when I feel desperate for the sound of a human voice. It seems silly because i'm busy most days but you still miss having that other person around.

I've got no advice for you Skeeter as I haven't been in your situation.
Lots of love and support from other people here who do know how you feel, hope it helps xx

our daughter and our son-in-law handled everything...stayed nite and day..hospice and all medications...
i handed everything to them to make all decisions...
they came today with a new bed for me and peaches our last little dog..
they held pawpaw like a baby and saw to all so I could prepare my soul..mind
i had the time to be with him in the way he and me needed..
What a blessing to see our kids just shine and love us so much..

Good morning Skeeter.
AC can indeed be a blessing - it takes me by surprise each time they show me that they are really grown-ups now.
Hang on in there.

flowers Sorry for your loss

grandtanteJE65 Sun 03-Sept-23 12:36:21

My heart goes out to you, both for your loss, and because you sound so lonely, naturally enough.

It's is always afternoon before anything from Gransnet turns up on my computer, so I hope you are not struggling on completely alone apart from all of us on Gransnet who have answered.

Come back any time - we will be here.

Esmay Sun 03-Sept-23 12:36:44

Good morning Skeeter, and Hev61.
So very sorry that you are both facing such sad and tricky times.
Can only offer a hand and reiterate the recommendation to join the Good Morning thread that Michael starts each day as a gentle connection to the everyday lives of gransnetters.
Will be thinking of you.
